Our exchanges show that many of the
minor cities in all parts of the country are
waking up simultaneously to the necessity
of a systematic sanitary drainage. Between
the pestilent smells and exhalations venti-
lated by the friends of public health, on
the one side, and the formidable prospect
of taxation for building sewer system, on
the other, the discussion in tho local papers
and on the streets becomes lively and some
times hot. There is an enormous profit to
property and business in the growth of g
populous town, but it is not altogether
clear profit There is heavy tax to be
levied en- such profits, which people
strangely forget until it comes, either in
the shape of large bills for indispensable
sanitary improvements exacted by the
massing of populotion, or else in the shape
of still more frightful bills of mortality,

We congratulate the citizens on the pros
pect Of supply of natural gas right here
as our doors. Last Tuesday, while the wa
ter committee were prospecting for water
for the city water wotks, and failing to find
water near the Harlan place as they ex
pected, in sheer desperation Aid, CavelI
proposed To Aid. Cummings to sink their
prospecting auger GA the West property,
opposite William Livers' residence. They
did so, and set the auger 20 work under the
management of Mr.. Wederman. They
went down ninety feet and no water, when
suddenly, after striking vein of gravel
under the blue clay, the auger dropped
several inches, and then the gas began t.
rush up with noise like young cyclone
Wederman hurried down TO the brewery
aud told the news of the unexpected find
and very soCn the citizens began 10 assem-
BILE around the new gas we'll, and the Wild.
est excitement prevailed. MIR. Gerou'd
and Mr.. Curtis were soon on the spot, and
a guage sent for and put on the pipe, and
the dial at once showed pressure OF y!
pounds 10 the square luch, which In few
hours was increased To - pounds.
Mr. Truman, the agent for the West es
tate, had the we'll enclosed and valve put
on so as to hold ii under control, and II will
be held and tested for rermanency, 1t /;
perfectly dry hole, and no sand nor grave
was thrown out. II is by far the strongest
gas we'll yet developed in Northern Hi
nois, and this one we'll alone, If ludiciouslN
managed, and it keeps up its pressure
would be adequate TO supply gas enough tc
heat all the stoves and run all the factories
in MENDOZA.
here is now a prospect of our citizen:
realizing their long.cherished hope OF
lighting and heating their homes anc
stores with the fuel Of the future.-Bns
